Future cycling demand is predicting there will be a significant desire to\from Peckham and beyond, with up to 150 cyclists using the route during the peak period, in the event of a free ferry crossing being developed.

We have developed proposals to link Cycleway 4 and Quietway 14 as a first phase and we are exploring potential connections towards Peckham.

Existing roundabouts replaced with new traffic signals with pedestrian crossings on each arm of the junction

15 trees removed with nine new trees proposed. Over the two projects there is an overall gain of five trees

Overview

We are consulting on creating a cycleway in the Rotherhithe area.

Future cycling demand is predicting there will be a significant desire to\from Peckham and beyond, with up to 150 cyclists using the route during the peak period, in the event of a free ferry crossing being developed.

We have developed proposals to link Cycleway 4 and Quietway 14 as a first phase and we are exploring potential connections towards Peckham.

The proposals are summarised below:

Existing roundabouts replaced with new traffic signals with pedestrian crossings on each arm of the junction

Redriff Road and Salter Road are amongst the top ten locations in Southwark where drivers speed. This is intimidating and makes it an unpleasant place to cycle and walk. The proposals will reduce speeds particularly through the roundabouts which will now be replaced with traffic signals.

The segregated two-way cycleway and crossings will allow people to cycle and walk through the area easier and safer.
